Carpenter [S] an artificer in stone, iron, and copper, as well as in wood ( 2 Samuel 5:11 ; 1 Chronicles 14:1 ; Mark 6:3 ).
The book of Matthew echoes this scene but instead attributes the profession to Joseph, Jesus’ adopted father, with onlookers asking “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?” (Matthew 13:55). In either case, it would be interpreted by the scriptures’ original audiences that, yes, Jesus worked in carpentry.
Christians have generally taken the statement in Mark 6:3 referring to Jesus as “Is not this the carpenter…?” (Greek: οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ τέκτων, romanized: ouch outos estin ho tektōn) as an indication that before the age of 30 Jesus had been working as a carpenter.
